Veteran emcee Q-Tip dropped by our studio a month ago and played the humble card when asked whether or not he considered himself a legend, but that all ended when the beat dropped.

Tip, who unarguably represents "real" hip-hop ran through three amazing freestyles without skipping a beat.Check out his performance below:
